What documentation are you looking at?

Use sharemgr or zfs to configure shares and share properties
Use sharectl and smbadm to configure the smb/server.

For workgroup mode, this should help:

If you want to enable guest access, take a look at:

For some reason the Solaris box cannot see the other
workgroup machines even though the smb/client service
is running.

You need to enable smb/server for all workgroup services.

smb/client is mainly to mount remote file systems - similar
to mapping a remote share on Windows.

Out of curiosity was there any good reasons given for releasing
something that does not talk to Windows out of the box?

Not that I'm aware of.
